Come crawl under the story quilt and get enveloped in the warmth and colour of a beautiful patchwork of regional children's stories.
Meet the ghost who longs to use a computer, the smart thief who is outsmarted by his travel companion, the girl who dreams of playing cricket, and even a runaway scooter!
This delightful collection of eight children's stories includes translations from Assamese, Gujarati, Kannada, Kashmiri, Konkani, Maithili, Punjabi and Sindhi. And adding to its charm are the beautiful illustrations that showcase the popular art style of each of these regions.
She may have spent 19 long years as a journalist with leading publications but Harshikaa Udasi promises that none of those years have made her super serious. She still cracks jokes at all the wrong times. When she isn't chasing her son for homework, food and other mommy obsessions, Harshikaa runs Book Trotters Club, a reading club for children, in Mumbai.
And yes, she writes books! Her first, Kittu's Very Mad Day, was shortlisted for the MAMI Word to Screen 2017 and won the prestigious FICCI Publishing Awards 2017 for the Best Children's Book (English). She is also the author of I Absolutely Totally Instantly Have to Have a Dog and has contributed short stories to On Your Marks: The Book of Crazy Exam Stories and Flipped: Adventure Stories Ghost Stories.
